Patrick Roberts to Birmingham compendium

Not for me but we can disagree. If anybody thinks Roberts can improve this side then they're in for a shock if he does play.

Need replacing with better. Talbi might not be playing if we had anybody capable on the bench instead of Roberts.

Regis knows best and he's not getting on the pitch, that's the main thing. Sometimes it feels I'm the only person that remembers how glorious he was when another trickster (Amad) was near him though.

That was 3 years ago and we don't play with anybody in the '10' position anymore.

Hes earned the right to stick around if he wants to but I'm not expecting an influence tbh.

Aye, I wouldn't put it past him to do something insane to give us an important point or three either though. Need another in if possible I agree.
 
Loyalty to Roberts would cost us, I’m personally happy he isn’t starting.
His decision making is terrible and his memory of why he gives it away or gets tackled seems to last 5 mins.
90% of his play he wants to cut inside and run the ball along the box.
Such a shame if only he’d move the ball quicker he has the ability to be included in the squad.
Can’t ignore he’s been good for us, just our team has moved on so quickly now, he has to change or move on himself.
 
If we sign our RW target Roberts will be allowed to leave id imagine. Would leave us with

Rw - New Singing Talbi
Lw - Adingra Mundle Le Fee

Adingra has played both sides plenty in his career. Le Fee has played alot of games on the left. If we were absolutely desperate and had a injury crisis then Rigg could go to the right so i think Roberts will be allowed to leave if we sign a new RW. If we do Roberts won’t even make the bench

Totally agree!
All the players you cite are and have been good honest pros and huge contributors to where we are now.
Written off before being given a real chance to show their worth.
If they do leave it should be with our sincere thanks not the disgraceful demeaning. Comments so many of these pathetic know nowt bairns spout

Spot on. Also, I think some of them can step up when needed this season. It all depends on how we are doing, if we are having a decent season, clear of relegation with a lot of confidence in the camp, the likes of Neil, Cirkin, O'nien can certainly come in and hold there own.

If we are rock bottom with no confidence, then it might be a different story.
 
If Roberts wants to play football then he will move as the team have improved to the point where he won’t get many minutes. If he wants to stay and pick up a wage then it’s his call. Me personally at his age would be looking at a loan deal.
